Next character sheet done! This time, Chiriko.

Once more, right fullbody pose is from @adorkastock

Rambling and old art under cut.

Once again, his first design comes from the year 2003 when little Mi was still learning to draw her own characters and heavily borrowing designs from other artists... seriously, A LOT of his design came from a certain infamous How Do Draw Manga book (I still have it, and I still love and cherish it, because honestly, it really helped me back then).

He, too, got his first charactersheet in 2008, his design stayed pretty much the same though.

Like the others, he got a redesign in 2015, where I dialed back a bit on the weird hair in his face, though it still looks pretty unruly.

I tried to make his clothes look a bit more fancy, as he's actual royalty, and I brought at least a BIT of colour variation into his design.

Compared with the new one, I didn't change a lot. I think the new coat looks a bit nicer and I like his boots. I also pretty much stayed within the colour scheme. What can I say, blue looks nice on him.

Now, I just need to come up with a nicer name for his race. Back then, I was influenced a lot by the Anime and Manga I watched/read (the name is still a pretty obvious sign for me being a weeb when I named him, but I just can't bring myself to change it), and back then I read a lot of stuff with Angels and Demons. So I went with Demon for him and his people. Not in a biblical way, not at all. The only thing you'd be able to relate to that is the fire theme, and it's more like fire bending to begin with (just had to google ATLA, but that came out a few years after I made this character. phew).

But either way, I don't like the name anymore.

I pondered about leaving out the red stripes on his cheek, they're also a relict from said book (and a lot of Anime/Manga characters back then had similar markings), but I tried it when I sketched him, and it just looked weird. So they'll stay (they're some sort of a family birthmark that every one from his father's bloodline wears).

Finished the next character sheet, Alayses! Weee~

Full body poses from @adorkastock

Pretty happy with her look. I think I finally managed to give her the androgynous look I had always had in mind for her.

Old art and more rambling under cut.

Like all the others, her first drawing is from 2003 and I think it is pretty obvious that I was quite into Record of Lodoss War back then lol. In her first Character Sheet from 2008 she doesn't look that much different (well, except for some progress in skills), but her weapons were a bit more detailed/embellished.

In her redesign from 2015 I dialed back those decorations again, at least a bit. She also got some more clothes, lol

So, compared with the new drawing, not a lot changed to her last design. I didn't give her the dagger - I'll admit, I forgot about it - and made her quiver dangling from the hips instead of going on her back.

The rest are mainly some design choices.

OC time 💕

Recently I've thought about my old old OCs again and felt like doing my traditional 10-year-redesign or something.

Started with Leera, as I knew I didn't want to change too much about her. (Actually didn't really want to change anything about her, so that's why the left drawing still has her old clothes lol).

I wanted to draw her more sturdy, more muscular, but alas, I'll need some more time to practise that. Pose on the right is from @adorkastock (though I butchered it a bit ^^').

Old art and more rambling under cut.

Her first drawing from 2003, and her first actual character sheet from 2008. I'm glad to see some improvement in my drawing 😅.

But it's very obvious from the first drawing that I originally got her into the story as a love interest for Ten... 😬 her character also was a lot more annoying back then.

She looks a bit more sporty on the character sheet already, I dare say.

Her redesign from 2015. She got some melanine and longer hair, and now her clothes don't look like rags anymore, which is an improvement, I'd say.

Her fire is still white like it used to be, because it's ~special~. She still is supposed to be a bit more toned, but I wasn't great at that back then either 😅

So what changed to now? Not a lot, I guess. Slightly changed her clothes and gave her back the dagger(s) she apparently was originally supposed to have.

Also decided to lean more into my idea from back then of making her a "dragon"*, hence the fire breathing (actual red fire now) and gave her some fangs.

*I back then called her/her people "Dragontrainers" because I couldn't think of a nice name and because, well, that's what she did. I still don't really know a better name, though I think the humans might call her kind "Dragonborn" because I like the ring of it. Will have to think of an actual good name, plus an origin, because right now my brain is like "guess they're the descendants of monsterfuckers" and idk if I should go with this lol.

She won't be Ten's love interest anymore, as I have different plans for him, I'm still undecided on whether I want her to date someone else or stay single. We will see what will come of it.

the only roman emperor i respect is honorius because, during his reign, rome was sacked, and when someone brought him the news that rome had perished he freaked out bc he thought they were talking about his pet bird named "rome," and when they explained that they were talking about the city he was like "oh thank god. who gives a shit"

working irl to counter issues such as racism and queerphobia gives you the secret super power of giving significantly less fucks about online discourse and fandom wank. i don’t care about the problematic age gap incest ship you think is ruining your life there’s no affordable housing in my city and they’re cutting the funding for volunteer anti discrimination projects

Remember the rock, paper scene in season one episode 2 where CXS playfully punches LG and LG stops him and then says

Utroba Cave in the Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria. Carved by hand more than 3000 years ago (?), it was rediscovered in 2001.

Archeologists hypothesize that an altar built at the end of the cave, which is about 22 m deep, represents either the cervix or the uterus.

At midday, light seeps into the temple through an opening in the ceiling, projecting an image of a phallus on to the floor.

When the sun is at the right angle, in late February or early March, the phallus grows longer and reaches the alter, symbolically fertilizing the womb before the sowing of the spring crops.
